Who really pays
Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. Abatements and exemptions shrink what some homes are taxed on — here's this block:
- 2101 S 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $353K
- 2120 S 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.17%$479/yr on $285K
- 2133 S 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.20%$496/yr on $246K
- 2123 S 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,504/yr on $537K
- 2126 S 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,389/yr on $496K
- …and 3 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2123 S 5th St is assessed at $537K but pays $1,504 a year — about 20% of the $7,520 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.
The block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +8.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
